SUBCHAPTER IV—LEAD EXPOSURE REDUCTION | (LINK) |
| The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976 was enacted by Congress to give EPA the ability to track the 75,000 industrial chemicals currently produced or imported into the United States.
EPA repeatedly screens these chemicals and can require reporting or testing of those that may pose an environmental or human-health hazard.
EPA can ban the manufacture and import of those chemicals that pose an unreasonable risk.
